conda environment from windows to linux

Question

I have developed a project on windows using pycharm and I want to deploy in on an ubuntu server.

I am trying to create a requirements.txt using these commands:

conda list -e > requirements.txt
conda list > requirements.txt

Depending on the options the requirements.txt looks like any of these:

# This file may be used to create an environment using:
# $ conda create --name <env> --file <this file>
# platform: win-64
@EXPLICIT
https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/blas-1.0-mkl.tar.bz2
https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/ca-certificates-2018.03.07-0.tar.bz2
https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/icc_rt-2017.0.4-h97af966_0.tar.bz2
https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/intel-openmp-2018.0.3-0.tar.bz2

Or this

# packages in environment at C:\ProgramData\Anaconda2\envs\myenvs:
#
# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel
anyjson                   0.3.3            py36h1110a06_1  
arrow                     0.12.1                   py36_1  
asn1crypto                0.24.0                   py36_0  
babel                     2.6.0                    py36_0

Or this

name: myenv
channels:
  - defaults
dependencies:
  - anyjson=0.3.3=py36h1110a06_1
  - arrow=0.12.1=py36_1
  - asn1crypto=0.24.0=py36_0
  - babel=2.6.0=py36_0
  - blas=1.0=mkl

No matter how I try to do this I get errors on the ubuntu machine, in some cases because the package is for windows: (/win-64/)

https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/ca-certificates-2018.03.07-0.tar.bz2 

I have read a lot of documentation but I seem not to be able to get what I want. Conda (Python) Virtual Environment is not Portable from Windows to Linux

Any solution?

Answer 1

By default, conda will export your environment with builds, but builds can be platform-specific.

A solution that worked for me is to use the --no-build flag:

$ conda env export --no-build > environment.yml

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I was handling with the same problem, I found this on Anaconda documentation:

Conda does not check architecture or dependencies when installing from a spec file. To ensure that the packages work correctly, make sure that the file was created from a working environment, and use it on the same architecture, operating system, and platform, such as linux-64 or osx-64
